# Hi everyone! I just wanted to share a tip for fungus gnats. I used to…

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share a tip for fungus gnats. I used to have a bunch of sticky traps for gnats but I saw someone on instagram talking about these mosquito drops. You can get them on Amazon and you just put a few drops into your watering jug/can every time you water and it kills the larvae. I literally threw out all of my sticky traps because I don’t have gnats anymore! I would keep your sticky traps to catch any adult flies you currently have but after a few weeks of using these drops and eventually getting all of your plants watered with them, you shouldn’t have any more adults flying around. Also, the drops come in a little bottle inside the container pictured and they last me about a month. Just make sure to keep these drops stocked going fwd!

How many drops per gallon? I find one is not enough. I'm experimenting with 10 drops per gallon. Much easier than the mosquito bits.

Yes! Much easier than the bits. I honestly don’t measure the drops. Lol. I just squirt a little into my watering can every time I fill it up. You don’t need very much. It may take a couple weeks to see an improvement if you currently have adult flies but this will definitely kill the larvae and stop the cycle!

There’s actually no need for more than 1 drop per 5 gallons! It won’t work any better if you put more drops.

This stuff is the best. I use it every time I water. So much easier than the bits for sure.
